Parts of the UK may bask in temperatures up to 30°C over the Bank Holiday before a wet spell next week.
Conditions will continue to warm up with temperatures set to peak by Monday in time for August Bank Holiday activities, the Met Office has forecast.
Sunday is also shaping up to be largely sunny with some cloud, the forecaster said.
Meteorologist Craig Snell said: ‘It’s looking fairly fair, it’s going to turn increasingly warm, the warmest day is going to be Monday.
‘Each day there will be more sunshine developing.’

However, beyond the Bank Holiday, the weather will turn more unsettled as Britain’s experiences the tail end of Hurricane Erin.
Snell continued: ‘It does stay for most of next week to the north west of the UK, so really strong winds stay offshore, the main impacts for us is it will bring a return of some rain.
‘From Tuesday onwards some of the rain will be heavy so we’ll keep an eye on that.
‘Temperatures return back down to average, low 20s in the south.
‘It will be a little bit blustery. There will be some more larger waves towards the western coasts.
‘If you are planning to head towards the beach early next week, stay up to date with forecasts on our website… and keep up to date with the RNLI.’
Beachgoers are being advised to stay safe during windy conditions, stick to lifeguarded beaches and be aware for rough seas.
Chris Cousens, water safety lead at the RNLI, said: ‘The forecast is changeable, so things might look different over the next couple of days.
‘But we do know that with the current forecast for bigger waves building and arriving towards the end and the day after the August bank holiday weekend, beaches are likely to be busy with holidaymakers and locals.’
He added that people should be on the lookout for rip currents – powerful channels of water.
If caught in a rip current, swimmers should avoid exhausting themselves by fighting against it and instead swim parallel to the beach until they’re free of it, or if they are struggling, call for help.
